A different kind of pedantry: which is it, 仁 or 人 ? Both appear on the page and the former seems more fitting.

- greggirwin 9y agoThanks for the input. The idiograms were found based on the Ren name and meaning, but I'm not a native Chinese speaker, so will defer to those who know, and make things clear.
- rebolek 9y agoWe agreed on 人, not sure where 仁 came from.
- imron 9y ago> not sure where 仁 came from It means humaneness, benevolence, kindness, and is pronounced exactly the same as 人 which means person/people.
- greggirwin 9y agoWithout a clear choice (as an English speaker) as to which might be more exact in translation, I think I pulled 仁 in because it also looks like the opening of a block, which is fundamental in Ren.
- imron 9y agoWhen I saw the headline my first reaction was to think "hah I bet it's called Ren because it's a data-exchange format for people", then I saw 仁 and thought - ah that's a much better choice.
